Ceanothus

摘要

Ceanothus can't help but stand out during the iate spring and summer months. Its prolific blue flowers offer a welcome flush of vibrant colour to planting displays, whether the plants are used as stand-alone specimens, mixed group plantings or mass plantings for ground cover. There are more than 70 cultivars spread across some 22 species, covering both evergreen and deciduous forms and embracing variegated; trailing, prostrate and spreading varieties. If the right varieties are selected it is possible to have Ceanothus in flower from mid-spring right through to the start of winter.
